"I understand that NIPER has submitted a full-fledged proposal of around Rs.1350 crores pertaining to various projects under the 12th Five Year Plan.

It will be very helpful in facilitating team work, multidisciplinary co-operation and planning of the projects if thefull proposal is circulated in advance to all faculties before the meeting e.g. how many projects are there? what are the objectives of the various projects? what are the end results proposed to be achieved etc. etc."

"Director is not willing to share copy of the full 12th Five Year Plan document for Rs.1350 crores submitted on behalf of NIPER and the concerned person ie. Dr.Naresh is saying he is not aware of the document. I duly respect the sentiments of both.

For reference of all, full copy of the document is enclosed. It is available in PUBLIC DOMAIN on the planning commission website."

Neither faculty nor BOG has any idea what is submitted to Planning commission. Now the question is why Officiating director and his courtier 3-in-1 Professor not telling the truth? What they want to hide? Projects under wrap gives immense opportunity of misappropriation. Especially infrastructural projects.

Director, NIPER has desired me to respond to a mail from Dr Parikshit Bansal on NIPER’S XII Plan.

I do not know of any “ full-fledged proposal of around Rs 1350 crores pertaining to various projects under the 12th five Year plan” (sic). I would love to see such a document which NIPER has submitted which in turn would make my job easy.

Everyone is supposed to attend all the presentations, which would afford all of us to know the number and nature of projects being considered, their objectives, proposed end-results, etc. and also look at the opportunities for collaboration.

Faculty presence on 11th and 12th would certainly usher in an appreciation for ‘Team Work’ leading thereby to ‘optimum utilization of facilities and human resources’ and to eventual success of the projects.

The following are the Schemes, as per the recommendations made earlier in this Plan Document:

8.2.1 Continuing Schemes 8.2.1.1 NIPER Mohali:

(i) The continuation of the PG and the PhD education at present strength levels would require budgetary support.

For this budgetary allocation of Rs 100 crs would be required for the 12th Plan period.

(ii) Given the huge demand for HR development at Masters and PhD level it is proposed to expand the student output under the existing scheme of NIPER Mohali and it is accordingly envisaged to expand as per below:

Physical target Budget (Rs crs)

a. Additional 1000 PGs and PhDs 200

b. Training Industry and Regulatory personnel 25

c. Public Health and Pharmacovigilance Trg. 25

d. Infrastructure Upgradation 250

Total 500

This would involve both capital and revenue expenditure.

8.2.2.2 New Schemes at Niper Mohali

It is proposed to launch new schemes as below at Niper Mohali‐

Scheme Budget (Rs crs)
